Teachers Horrified at Disgusting Thing Boy’s Been Putting His Lips On At Playground

Recess time turned into panic time for one family after a five-year-old boy found a condom on a Baltimore city playground during recess.

WBFF reported that Marlee, the boy, found the condom and thought it was a balloon, which is understandable considering his age. Marlee then put the condom to his mouth and started to blow into it, trying to blow it up.

Luckily a teacher saw what was happening and intervened quickly. The teacher took to the boy to the school’s nurse, who made him wash his mouth out with saltwater, then called the boy’s family.

“The principal said that they find needles, condoms, things like that all the time on the playground,” Walton Cooper, the child’s grandmother.

“So, my reaction to her was, ‘If you find things like that on the playground all the time, why would you take these babies out to that playground, putting them in harm’s way?'” she said.

“Baltimore City Schools will continue to stress to all our custodians to do a thorough sweep of their playgrounds every morning,” read a statement released by the school district.

Someone in the district needs to be held accountable for this. The district should be aware that playgrounds in big cities, especially in a city like Baltimore which has massive amounts of crime, can attract the wrong sort of people at night.

It is baffling why this playground wasn’t properly cleaned ahead of recess. Had that condom had a disease like AIDS or HIV on it, Marlee’s life could be forever altered, just for being a kid.

Of course, parents also need to teach their kids that, especially in a big city, you never pick up anything off the ground and play with it. You never know what you could be exposing yourself to.
